Re: Question about UV grid size in 3DSMax?
![TorQue[MoD]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/978/n9Y8GE4KMHMJB.jpg)
I'm wondering this as well. I'm pretty sure the decimal based grid size doesn't work in Max. Also, I've heard that the correct math isn't 1/256 it's actually 1/254 because Unreal uses a 1 pixel border around lightmaps for filtering which means you lose two pixels so you need to divide 1 by 2 less than your lightmap… -
Re: Anyone have tips for setting up renders in UE4?
The best looking stuff I've gotten so far is by using dynamic lights with a curtain, and post process effects. Problem though- is it just me, or does rendering using this "High Resolution" setting produce a lot of gradient banding? Also still pixelated a bit even after turning on anti-aliasing. I'm wondering what you guys… -
Re: 4SAMPLES 3x3 5x5 PRE3x3 PRE5x5 SO3x3 SO5x5 - Explain?
Pre = Prewit So = Sobel Both are Edge Detection Algorithms. I´m not sure about the first ones, but i think they used a more direct approach calculating the normalmap. 3x3 and 5x5 would then pick a pixel and you use the neighbouring pixels to determine the height difference between them which gives you your z axis vector.… -
Re: SceneDepth-based material problem.
Ahh ok I see. The crosshair doesn't work like that. The DestDepth node works on all pixels in the base render pass, not the crosshair, which is just a UI element. The most classic use of DestDepth is for water, in which you can sample the depth of the next pixel behind the water surface and in return make the water more or… -
Re: UV space cropping in blender ? need guidance
You're a bit lost between image and UV space : UV space doesn't care about te pixel size of the image, it's proportionnal, for example if you put a rectangle image here, the UV islands will still be on top with blank space on bottom. So if you want a UV to fit 1024*2048 pixel, islands needs to fit the whole UV space, then… -
Re: How the HECK do you create texture masks 1 & 2
Copy all the pixel contents of your source into the clipboard (for instance, the pixels of the specular mask you created), select the desired channel in your final DOTA-compliant texture file, then paste (for specular : paste into texture #2, red channel) (To select an individual channel, open the channel palette and click… -
Re: Best projection mapping workflow?
How does the normal map look applied to the lowpoly in the viewport? The normal map looks perfectly fine to me here, you're seeing various colors because thats what a normal map does, uses various colors to represent different angles, bevels along edges will produce some extreme angles, and thus extreme colors. In addition… -
Re: MGS4 art making-of articles @ softimage.jp
Instead of a separate UV set, you could simply tile the detail map in the shader, so there isn't any vertex duplication caused by a 2nd UV set. This looks like what Crysis does. (clicky) I don't think there's any damage to the normals from stretched pixels, the final per-pixel normals are interpolated just like they always… -
Re: Unreal lightmass?
What if there was a robot sent from the future who's sole purpose was to UV map things? @ Malcolm - I have been guilty of the following in regards to semi-auto UVmapping: I get the mesh with properly UVmapped diffuse channel (with overlaps and shell stacking), dupe that UV channel, and scale UV's to mesh to make sure they… -
Re: Specular Seams with lightmass, any ideas?
Im facing exactly the same issues, followed a lot of tutorials on how to fix the seams and they are still there :/ Try taking a look at this maybe it helps, it fixed most of my errors but i still get weird stuff [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntx10JMl9f4"]Fixing Lighting Seams in UDK - YouTube[/ame] Heres a…
